lyrics

There are many lies that I could spin to keep you from knowing
What I’ve done and where I’ve been tonight
But great expectations of such fabrications just wouldn’t be right
And intoxication nullifies each explanation I offer you tonight

You see through all my lies
You see through all of my lies
So what’s the use?
In denying the truth

Man overboard, red alert, I’m sailing for stormy waters now
It’s not that the drugs don’t work, they just don’t do what they ought to now
I’m a fool I know, I can’t keep myself afloat
I’m just a fool, I’ve been drowning you

I’ve been pretending that I’ve been defending my heart
But I’m just running scared
I’ve been losing time I’ve been losing my mind I’ve been caught unawares
Though I did not intend to hurt or offend you I’ve got no excuses prepared

There’s nothing that’s left now but lies
There’s nothing that’s left but my lies
What am I to do, when I still love you

Couldn’t tell you where we’re bound for now but I know that I let my baby down
I’ve been giving her the run around and now I’ve found that I’ve let my baby down
But she keeps it all inside
She keeps it all inside
What am I to do, when I still love you
